"Doc." Horton. "Heck" Mclnnis, Bradley, W. Chllders, Pr'oe,Pldcock, Shanks,. Bessler and Merrll Chllders yesterday put the hooks to. the here tofore ' Invincible Elgin team, admin istering the first defeat that aggre gation has experienced in eight straight games ,and La Grande in cldentally made It four straight for herself in the Jnter-county league. The score was 4 to 3, and truly, is was a great contests one of the kind that stands for something every mln ute. One hundred and twenty-five rooters from ; La 1 Grande witnessed the contest and will corroborate the assertion that a faster game and no more sensational contest has been Been In Eastern Oregon this year or for many moons past. For variety of attractions the game was unsur passable. 't Palpable boots, the most thfilling sorts of fielding stunts, long drives to the gardens, daring base running, bum decisions for both teams, first, class twirling all these things that usually come In a whole Beason of baseball wero all dished out to the large' audience In the one f.ame. Anything , that , baseball had was there except hte beefing, which, pleasant to note, was almost entirely miKSlng and the best of feeling pre vailed principally because both teams refrained from copious objections to various umpirlc decisions. Clean-cut and thrilling plays were every-mln ute occurraaces, but Russel of Elgin and Horton of La Grande were deserving of special mention. Russel ' beat a long drive to the center field garden fence, and leaping against the boards, sacked what seemed to be a home run. The blow stunned ' him, but he Instinctively clung to the ball There was an element of, luck, jf course, but the daring feature appeal ed to the audience. Horton, the nifty keystone sacker for La Grande show ed the Elgin contingent something about fielding, and twice during tho game covered distances, pulled grass burners under control and threw the man out at first after he had travel ed half as far as the batted ball tc et It. Elgin and La Grande people too, were simply amazed at' the speed of. the. little .'fellow. La Grande was bested early In the game but kept her, nose to the grind stone, soon breasting and then leav ing her opponents. In the ninth El- ,In pushed one over but not dnugh jo- tie the score. Aside from Horton's fielding, base running and timely batting there were other things to commend. Proe who has been out of the garoo for some time, came back and InnJpil lrmanent berth, but this time he was at center garden and there to stay. He took them on the fun, back 'r,g up and any old way tliev came v him yesterday, his neiams; was one of the features.' Bradlav and W, Chllders played consistent ball, tak ing ; every opportunity an d they were many with coolness and accu racy, isacn got credit . ror an over th'.ow, but otherwise hits to their sections meant put outs. Slanka had an oft day apparently, for atte-- fleM Srg two files and getting a timely Mot'le, he muffed two easy one. Bes sler is credited with four errors and he too was off color, for he failed to bat his usual gait. Pldcock .the tier v backstop, played one ot hti be&t pnmea and at no time did anything bu: help to win. , M. Chllders hnd but one chance and that in .he ninth in :'irg. when he basketed tb.) deii;Hng hit by a pretty catch. Mclnnis was on the mound and he was there strong. He maintained h'ns ' reputa tion of trowing the best when tne bases are full and at one I'm had runner on third with no one down I bul the one, two three bu;ur.ess whs aturted, with good success.
